Description

Leaf Plate made from naturally fallen leaves of Areca Palm (not related to palm oil family).

The tradition of eating off the leaves and making leaf plates and bowls has existed for thousands of years across different cultures and nations. People utilised natural resources available to them locally to make products for everyday use.

Areca Palm Leaf Plates and using Banana Leaf as a plate has been quite common specially in the Indian subcontinent where the two are available in abundance.

Our Leaf Plates are made from sustainable raw material resource and no trees are cut down in the process, moulded into shapes and sizes, simply using heat & water. Free from toxic chemicals, sealants and binding agents, this leaf plate is suitable for hot & cold foods and in the end, simply return it back to the nature either in a compost bin or bury in the ground.

Being natural, each leaf plate is unique and different to another with its own natural colour, texture and personality. You won't find two plates the same!

Plastic tableware along with cutlery is one of the biggest single use plastic polluters in the world. Used for a few minutes, discarded and rarely recycled, majority of single of plastic ends up in landfill or our waterways. According to estimates, less than 9% of plastic produced every year gets recycled.

Plastic has not just an end of life problem, it leaves a massive negative impact on us and the environment at every stage of its lifecycle right from exploration to processing to making of finished products to end of life disposal.
The solution to plastic problem lies in reducing it in our daily lives. Switching to good quality reusables that last a long time and can be repaired should be our focus but if we ever need to go single use then look for products that are close to the nature, have no harmful chemicals in them and end of life can be returned back to the nature without leaving a negative impact on the environment.
